Towards the end of the writing of my autobiography I returned to my love of boats and the ocean and gained ownership of my dear sloop the Caledonia. The last pages of the story of my life (so far that is) remain blank and the final sentence stated that hopefully the story still had more to come. Well here is yet another addition to my tale. I set up the cabin of my new vessel to double-up as an art studio and began a series of images that would focus upon life on the water. This collection of pictures is not an example of polished and finished artworks; it is a number of pencil and watercolour sketches that derive from impressions of that which reflects water life here in Cornwall.
